I have included both multi player and single player ideas in our best games list.

Make Our Favorite Board Games Yours!

Hoot Owl Hoot is another awesome cooperative game! We have played these simple to learn cooperative games for a few years now and this one is easy fun!

Zingo was a birthday present that is filled with fast action fun but is simple to learn. You have to be quick if you want to get the tile! Helps with word recognition too! There are several Zingo games to choose from as well.

Busytown is a great eye spy kind of game, but it is also cooperative so everyone works together! It’s quite a good challenge to find all the objects.

Race Through Space was another birthday present. It has a continually changing game board but pretty simple rules. It’s a nice introduction to strategy games!

Rush Hour Jr. Our son enjoys sitting with this game and simply creating the patterns from the cards. It was a gift. At the time we thought it was a little old for him, but he actually surprised us by being able to solve the puzzles! Great single play game option

Hullabaloo is a fast paced, get the kids moving kind of game! Great with a few kids or just one! Encourages listening skills and creative movement!

Rangerland Jr. is a game we picked up on vacation in Shenendoah National Park! It is candy land like but with great facts about National Parks. You actually win by collecting cards as opposed to finishing first. Would be fun for an older child to read to a younger child.

Math Dice are always just fun to have and we make up our own games too!

Perplexus Original is on our wish list because we have played with it at friend’s houses! Great single player fun!

Make ‘N’ Break is a great building game that can also be used as a single player game too and for multiple ages! We enjoy just building the patterns on the cards!

Hide and Seek Pirates is somewhat like Rush Hour Jr. but different in that you are placing the puzzle pieces to uncover the objects rather than trying to get something out! Another single player idea!

Mazes are always fun and a great single player game! We love Kumon books. They have a variety of maze books for several different age groups!

This list of our favorite games have been perfect for our family. I hope some of them will become your favorite games too! Check out more of our top picks below.
